If you haven't gotten your full dose of meta-Lifetime network Christmas movies, or you're still waiting for your own cat's meme to turn into an internet sensation and make you millions of dollars, or if you're just like me and you can't get enough of the frowny siamese kitty named Tardar Sauce...

This weekend, Lifetime debuted the first ever meme-gone-movie, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.
And everyone is talking about it...from it's top 10 best and worst Grumpy Cat moments to think pieces on the larger implications of a meme becoming a movie.

In "Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever," Grumpy Cat is a lonely cat living in a mall pet shop. Because she always gets passed over and never gets chosen by customers, this kitty develops a sour outlook on life until…one day during the holidays, a very special 12-year-old girl named Chyrstal enters the pet store and falls in love with Grumpy Cat. A unique friendship is formed between the two when Chyrstal finds she is the only person who can hear this unique feline talk. In the middle of the holiday rush, Grumpy reluctantly thwarts the kidnapping of an expensive exotic dog she can’t stand and rescues Chyrstal after the mall closes on Christmas Eve. Will Grumpy Cat learn the true meaning of Christmas, or will it be in Grumpy’s words, “Worst. Christmas. Ever?”
